Upgrading from a Previous Version of vRealize Log Insight

Keep in mind the following considerations when upgrading to this version of vRealize Log Insight.

Upgrade Path

You can upgrade to 4.7.1 directly from a Vmware vRealize Log Insight 4.6.x release or from release 4.7. If you are running an earlier version of vRealize Log Insight, you must first incrementally upgrade your installation to a minimum of release 4.6.

Important Upgrade Notes

To upgrade to Vmware vRealize Log Insight 4.7.1, you must be running a vRealize Log Insight 4.6.x release or 4.7.

When performing a manual upgrade, you must upgrade workers one at a time. Upgrading more than one worker at the same time causes an upgrade failure. When you upgrade the master node to vRealize Log Insight 4.7.1, a rolling upgrade occurs unless specifically disabled.

Upgrading must be done from the master node's FQDN. Upgrading with the Integrated Load Balancer IP address is not supported.

vRealize Log Insight does not support two-node clusters. Add a third vRealize Log Insight node of the same version as the existing two nodes before performing an upgrade.

If the vRealize Log Insight upgrade (.pak file) has a new JRE version, then the user-installed certificates in a vRealize Log Insight setup (such as for event forwarding) become invisible after upgrade.
